Boyfriend Jackets

In recent years our preference for relaxed, loose fits has given rise to the boyfriend cut era. Once reserved for lazy weekend at home, this season weve incorporated the style into our office portfolio too. Weve rounded up the best boyfriend jackets that you can wear to the boardroom and beyond, to inspire you think over-sized this winter.

Last season the debut premium collection from Wallis, W by Wallis, went down a storm here at Red HQ. Needless to say we had high expectations for the new AW13 pieces.

With its leather look lined pocket details and a subtle leopard print pattern splashed across the lining, this blazer has topped our high street wish list for the season.

Guaranteed to work alongside a whole host of office staples, this will fast become the cover-up that’ll polish your daytime ensemble effortlessly and instantly.

Topshop colour block blazer

An emerging trend appears to be spreading across the high street and key pieces. Instead of embracing the colour-blocking trend via contrasting tops and accessories, key staples have been transformed to give the same effect.

This Topshop number is a prime example juxtaposing bottle green with black, giving an otherwise classic boyfriend blazer an on trend update.

Alice and You cobalt blue blazer

While stand-out neon hues may take your look into on-trend territory, our failsafe shade of the season has to be cobalt blue.

A great way to inject a pop of vibrancy into your office portfolio, it’s ideal for jazzing up a blouse and pencil skirt get-up. Perfect if you want to make an impression at the next meeting or interview.

Jigsaw jacket

For a blazer that has a luxe edge without stretching to a high end designer price point, we’ve turned our attention to the best brands on the British high street.

This Jigsaw blazer is one of favourite buys with its subtle leather sleeve and collar trim, and single-buttoned style.

Perfect for wearing on a night out too, we’ll be teaming with heeled boots and little black dress come date night.

New Look red longline blazer

It’s very tempting to develop an office portfolio that’s based on a dark palette of navys, blacks and greys. While we wouldn’t advise to neglect the basics, it’s worth investing in a statement piece that will lift your look with ease.

A bold colour update that will fit seamlessly with the rest of your office buys, this pillar box red blazer will do just that, without the fear of attracting too much attention in the office.

Weighing in at a purse-friendly price tag, it will also allow you to spend the rest of your workwear budget on statement accessories like an oversized cuff.

Whether you’re the CEO or working your way up the ladder, there’s nothing better than having a chic, timeless blazer in the wardrobe for when an important meeting arises.

Admittedly this Rag & Bone number is quite the investment, but it’ll sharpen your ensemble in a flash.

The leather cuffs and collar details will also add a fierce edge to your get-up which should be embraced with a complementing bold lip.
